We look for UV fixed points of non-abelian $SU(n_c)$ gauge theories in $4+2\epsilon$ dimensions with $n_f$ Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation, using the available five-loop $\overline{{\rm MS}}$ $\beta$-function and employing…

We construct and study the relativistic Gross-Neveu-Yukawa field theory for the $\text{SO}(2N)$ real symmetric second-rank tensor order parameter coupled to $N_f$ flavors of $4N$-component Majorana fermions in 2+1 dimensions. Such a tensor…

An important yet largely unsolved problem in the statistical mechanics of disordered quantum systems is to understand how quenched disorder affects quantum phase transitions in systems of itinerant fermions. In the clean limit, continuous…

We renormalize the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model with an $O(N)$ symmetry to $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^5)$ in $d=4-\epsilon$ dimensions and determine the anomalous dimensions of the fermion and scalar fields, $\beta$-functions as well as the scalar…

We present the phase diagram and associated fixed points for a wide class of Gauge-Yukawa theories in $d=4+\epsilon$ dimensions. The theories we investigate involve non-abelian gauge fields, fermions and scalars in the Veneziano-Witten…

We construct long-range fermionic models with the Gross-Neveu and Gross-Neveu-Yukawa interaction, and argue that their critical regimes are equivalent. To this end, we calculate various CFT data in $\epsilon$- and $1/N$- expansion, and…

We investigate the fate of the non-supersymmetric Gross-Neveu-Yukawa fixed point found by Fei et al in $4-\epsilon$ dimensions with a two-component Majorana fermion continued to two dimensions. Assuming that it is a fermionic minimal model…

We study the conformal bootstrap for 4-point functions of fermions $\langle \psi_i \psi_j \psi_k \psi_{\ell} \rangle$ in parity-preserving 3d CFTs, where $\psi_i$ transforms as a vector under an $O(N)$ global symmetry. We compute bounds on…

It has been conjectured that 3d fermions minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields are dual to 3d critical scalars, also minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields. The large $N$ arguments for this duality can formally be used to…

The critical properties of the QED$_{3}$ Gross-Neveu-Yukawa (GNY) model in 2+1 dimensions with $N$ flavors of two-component Dirac fermions are computed to first order in the $1/N$ expansion. For the specific case of $N=2$, the critical…

We use the recently developed CFT techniques of Rychkov and Tan to compute anomalous dimensions in the $O(N)$ Gross-Neveu model in $d=2+\epsilon$ dimensions. To do this, we extend the "cowpie contraction" algorithm of arXiv:1506.06616 to…

We continue our study of renormalization group (RG) flows on Wilson loop defects in ABJM theory, which we have initiated in arXiv:2211.16501. We generalize that analysis by including non-supersymmetric fixed points and RG trajectories. To…

We study numerically on the lattice the 2D Yukawa model with the U(1) chiral symmetry and $N_F$ = 16 at infinite scalar field self-coupling. The scaling behaviour of the fermion mass, as the Yukawa coupling approaches zero, is analysed…
